    Red Wing Gentleman's Traveler

    Just adding my experience for those who search in the future. I wear an 11.5E Allen Edmonds Park Avenue, I sized down half and got an 11 Beckman, the fit is almost the same. There is no way I could have gone down a full size. In order to get these boots on I have to use dress socks, loosen the...

    Lands' End Canvas

    The shirts feel a lot slimmer to me than J Crew. Sleeves are shorter as well. I picked up a few oxford and chambrays in medium, and they fit me pretty well for my awkward size. 6'4" 38" chest 34" waist 180lbs

    Those commando sole ones look really nice. I agree the kudu would be nearly perfect with a commando. I have my eye on those commando soled chukka boots that were posted for now. Thanks for the responses.

    it's a decent boot in my opinion. not too pretty but it will hold up fairly well for winter. the leather is heavily oiled and thick. it's comparable to chromexcel... I think it is also by Horween but I could be wrong. the lug sole is probably the weakest aspect of the shoe... they seem kind of...

    What do you guys think of the kudu chukka boot? Thinking about getting it mainly for a nice winter boot. Does kudu last as long as any other leather? I know you are not suppose to take care of it really (as in condition, polish)

    An Allen-Edmonds thread for Monday, 23 August 2010

    How does the Executive last fit compare to the 5 last? I have tried the 1,4, and 5 lasts. 4 and 5 fit me, but 1 not so much. 1 hits my toes too much Yes I have read their page on lasts, but was hoping someone with first hand experience could offer insight.

    Looking at the Alden Chukka on the Barrie last. If a 11.5 D on the Hampton Last fits me perfectly, would 11 D on Barrie be perfect? Theoretically, yes. I find the barrie to be a true D though, if you're wide in the least bit you're going to have a problem. Just want to confirm, the 11 D...

    Start by unbuttoning the bottom button on the jacket. It looks like you could go down a size. Is it a vintage find or is it new? Well its vintage. Its an old Levi, made in USA. Sizing down? Its a 40L, they only way I could size down is with a 38XL, which is nearly impossible to find.

    Ignoring all else. How is the fit on this sport coat? It's not mine, I'm just using it for sizing purposes. It is a 40L. Other than hitting the gym, do I have any other options? I'm 6'4" btw.

    Looking at the Alden Chukka on the Barrie last. If a 11.5 D on the Hampton Last fits me perfectly, would 11 D on Barrie be perfect?

    wider shoe than AE Park Avenue in toes?

    Just an update. I picked up Aldens on the hampton last in 11.5D and they are a near perfect fit. The Allen Edmonds 5 last in 11.5 E (Park Avenue) are a little tighter in the instep area and the toes Not sure if the Aldens are worth double the price I can get the Park Ave for though.

    Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion

    Depends on the AE model you wear. If you wear an 11.5 E in, say, the Park Avenue, I think you'd be OK with the 11 D Beckman. Just my two cents. I wear a 12E in Park Avenue and an 11.5D in an Iron Ranger, if that helps. Yeah 11.5 E in the Park Avenue. I may order an 11 D Beckman from Zappos to...

    Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion

    I know that it is recommended to size down half to full size on the Red Winds, but what about width? I wear 11.5 E in Allen Edmonds comfortably, would an 11 D in Red Wing Beckmans be okay? Edit: 11.5 E in Park Avenue.

    wider shoe than AE Park Avenue in toes?

    I'll try to get a hold of some Aldens and see how they fit. I went back and the 0 Last is still uncomfortable by my pinky toe. Though it's too the side more than the top. I did try on a few others and the 1 and 4 fit me. Though there aren't any attractive shoes on those Lasts. Does this help...

    wider shoe than AE Park Avenue in toes?

    Johnson &Murphy Crown Aristocrat Alden Is the Alden last wider than the Park Avenue? Plus I don't think anyone around here carries them to try on. I can't seem to find the Johntson & Murphy Crown Aristocrat, seems to be discontinued. The Park Avenue are on a fairly narrow last. Have you...

    wider shoe than AE Park Avenue in toes?

    I am looking for my first pair of "nice" dress shoes. Starting out with a basic black cap toe. I went to Allen Edmonds Shoe Outlet in Brookfield, WI yesterday to get my shoe size measured and try on Park/Fifth Avenue shoes. When they measured they said I was a 11.5 D, maybe 12 D...
